The Hunt – TV Interview
Project Lead for The Hunt, a student based game project I am currently Technical Director/Lead Programmer of, recently did a bit for Time Warner Cable. I’m the guy with the long and rattly hair lurking in the occasional shot. No true official coverage of me, mainly because programming just makes some boring television.

Created a 3d model of my head with FaceGen Adrian Rodriguez rigged it and did some fancy FaceFX graph stuff. Nicolas Ziegler lent his voice. I imported .wav files, edited their animation graphs, shoved it all in mattinee. This is the result. Michael Allar

Posted in Dev Diary, Unreal | No comments
Just some custom assets I’ve assembled/created and implemented into my code. They should be replaced with proper artist assets later on but its more of a demonstration of a custom weapon that reloads, animates, plays sound, etc without any ut classes. Michael Allar
